Haryana daughters brought glory in many fields, says President Murmu
The Story in Brief
President Droupadi Murmu on Sunday, 1 November, said Haryana's daughters have brought glory to the nation in sports, politics and science, speaking at the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in Kurukshetra marking 60 years of the state's formation. She launched the Diamond Jubilee logo, with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Governor Ashim Kumar Ghosh present.
Murmu recalled Sucheta Kripalani as India's first woman chief minister, Kalpana Chawla as an inspiration to girls, and noted the sex ratio at birth rose from 871 girls per 1,000 boys in 2014 to about 915 in November 2025. She cited athletes including Manu Bhaker, Sweety Boora and Jasmine Lamboria, and congratulated Manisha Bhanwala on becoming the first Indian woman to win a World Wrestling Championships gold. She also urged the state government to gather details about a 12-year-old Rewari girl who defied British salt laws during the 1930 Civil Disobedience Movement.
Murmu also attended the 114th foundation anniversary of Gurukul Kurukshetra and paid tribute to martyr Swami Shraddhanand.
Indian Opinion Analysis
President Droupadi Murmu's Diamond Jubilee address in Kurukshetra received uniform coverage from both outlets, neither of which took a position on the government's record. Hindustan Times led with the President's broad statement that 'Haryana's daughters have brought glory to the nation,' while The Indian Express opened with her remark on contributions to the freedom struggle, democracy and science. The wire-copy structure means the only difference is which of Murmu's many examples, Sucheta Kripalani, Kalpana Chawla, the sex ratio improvement from 871 to 915 per 1,000 boys, or the Commonwealth Games medals, each outlet chose to front. A reader can take the composite list of names and figures from both stories as the full account the President gave.
